Top Gear is a lot of fun. I rank it 3rd in terms of my favorite SNES racers (Mario Kart and Rock n Roll Racing being 1 and 2). That's true, but it only works so often. More often than not, the player who's skilled with setting up combos and chains will win out.

I agree. Tetris Attack (Panel de Pon) ranks as my favorite puzle game on any console. If anyone's got an N64, check out Pokemon Puzzle League. It's from the same series as Tetris Attack but with the Pokeomon license thrown in. It's also only 2-players though.

Last Gladiators, the best pinball game on any console...ever!

It's $19.99 at all Targets now (both Xbox and PS2 versions). If it's marked $40 at your Target, have the sales associate scan it, and it should come up $19.99. I've also seen the Xbox version at a couple of local Wal-Marts for $17.88. YMMV on that though, Wal-Mart's pricing is more regional.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a Battle Royale video game out (at least not an official game). The only thing I've read is only speculation. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/200409...attleroyale.htm It seems like the perfect movie for a game. If you haven't seen the movie yet, go watch it! The sequel is disappointing, but the first BR movie is one of my favorites.

You guys might want to chech out your local Circuit City store for the Killzone demo. They're ringing up a penny each. My CC had a bunch of them a week or so ago. I thought the demo was pretty enjoyable. It's only about 5 minutes long, but I was surprised with how fun the game is. I was expecting it to be really bad based on some of the comments I've read on various messageboards.

They still have this deal going on, but I think you have to have the coupon in the current GMR magazine now. Otherwise, the promo this month is $9.99 for a preowned Dreamcast system.

You'll have to shell out $60 now if you want the port of MK1. It's been pulled from Midway Arcades Treasures 2 and will be on the Mortal Kombat: Deception Kollector's Edition instead. Also, Steel Talons and STUN Runner are being replaced with Kozmik Kroozr’ and Wacko. Here's the Midway Arcade Treasures 2 lineup now: A.P.B. Arch Rivals Championship Sprint Cyberball 2072 Gauntlet 2 Hard Drivin’ Kozmik Kroozr’ Mortal Kombat 3 Mortal Kombat II NARC Pit Fighter Primal Rage Rampage World Tour Spy Hunter 2 Timber Total Carnage Wizard of Wor Xenophobe Xybots Wacko http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/08/03/ne...ws_6104042.html

IMHO, it's definately worth $10. I have it on Xbox and for PC. I dig the cel shaded graphics and the comic book style of the game. I recommend it more for the offline gameplay. It kind of plays like a bloodfest online, but it's still fun. I anyone's interested, the Xbox and PS2 versions are $9.99 new at ebgames.com. The PC version is $9.25 at overstock.com. And yes, I have too much free time on my hands to know all this.

I haven't played it, but it was a "Sega Club" game aimed towards younger gamers. If you liked Ecco and have a 32X, give Kolibri a try.

Even though this might not apply to the Castlevania Saturn game specifically...if you're going to fork out money on a cart that lets you play imports, spend a little extra and go with the Action Replay Plus over the ST Key. It'll let you play the imports that require the 1MB/4MB RAM carts like X-Men vs SF, Vampire Savior, etc. It also doubles as a memory cart and GameShark.

Mortal Kombat II is my favorite. Out of the other ones I've played, Knuckles Chaotix and Kolibri would be my 2nd/3rd choices. Is Blackthorne any good? I never got a chance to play that one.

No luck at my Best Buy. All were correctly marked at $34.99

They had the same deal for the N64. I think were both July deals though. I think the upcoming Aug promo is pre-played DC or N64 systems for $9.99 each (no game purchase required).

Yup, it's a good game even with the Pokemon license. It's pretty short, but I had fun playing it a few years back. I think a lot of people feel the same way about Pokemon Puzzle League (which is basically Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon). A lot of people overlooked it because of the Pokemon, but it's probably the best puzzle game I've ever played.
